I assume that modifies the Desktop file?
That is my recollection; I recall using it along with a utility
called "Save a BNDL" which updates the desktop database when
you've changed things like file icons in an application's resource
and the Finder hasn't "caught up" to the change from the main app.
There's a lot of interesting info on the Desktop file and its
contents here by the fellow who maintained Save a BNDL and several
other Desktop file utils:

It's rather instructive on the file->application lookup process,
among other things.

You just change the creator code. For example, R*ch
would open it in
BBEdit (Rich Siegel's little easter egg).
Oh, sure. That works. There is *also* a utility out there
somewhere to change the type/creator association for double-
clicks (for example, I found out by accident that AIM had
claimed all files with creator code "oscr" and had to steal
it back because I had used that for all mine as well).
